Maybe its just me having a bad day at work, but I am seriously ready to kill the next person that sends me a stupid f[/u]ucking chain letter email from Microsoft!!!
I am sure most of you have seen this lame attempt of a farce. Basically the email entails that if you forward this email regarding some super top secret joint venture between Microsoft and AOL and a new email beta, you will get a check directly from Mr. Bill gates for $245 whole dollars per person wowee!! Also it should be known that John J. Jagoff or whatever the hell his suppossed name has done it and you can call him if you don't believe him!! It is on the Internet so it must be true.
I know that this email is circa 1999 and is super outdated, the problem just doesn't seem to go away. So the big boss got ahold of this from one of his pals and decided to send the damn thing to the Everyone Distribution List so I have about 500 users working today that got this stupid thing.
The entire morning I have been getting the same message forwarded from every department to the Everyone Distribution List. What kills me is I responded specifically stating not to forward it anymore and citing urbanlegends.about.com within the email to show them that it is fake and after I got that out I received about 40 more during the rest of the morning. God, are people this stupid or do they just like to not read anything?
I mean seriously, I work for freaking PhDs that are gullible enough to believe that Mr. Bill Gates himself will send you money just for forwarding an email not even from him! It aggrivates me to no end.
So in conclusion I just want everyone out there to know that Bill Gates doesn't give out money for forwarding emails, there is no 6 year old with cancer waiting for you to send his email out to 10,000 people so that he can get the operation he needs, if you make a wish and send out 20,000 emails it just shows you have way to much time on your hands and should get back to work, the ring was just a good movie and in real life nobody calls you after reading an email and sending it out, and please please please for the love of all that is good and righteous delete them immediately and do not forward it.
